What would happen if you drove your car after adding power steering fluid to brake fluid?

If the fluid causes the rubber in the Master Cylinder, you can lose your braking ability. The rubber seals in there are designed to cause pressure one way and allow the oil to pass by when you release the brake. If that oil cant get by because the seal is swelled, the fluid will not compensate for the wearing of your brake pads and your pedal will slowly get closer to the floor as your pads and/or shoes wear.

Why is it hard to turn the steering wheel of the Toyota MR2 89?

Mk1 Mr2's do not have power steering. PS isn't really necessary in Mr2's because there is no weight in the front end (try turning the wheels of any front engine non-ps vehicle and you'll realize that your Mr2's a hundred times easier). Also, manual steering allows for slightly better road feel, it would be a pain in the ass to route PS from the rear to the front, and with only 113hp PS would take too much power from the motor.

How do you adjust the belt for power steering on a 1986 Buick Regal if you do not see a pivot or slot for adjustment?

If you have a serpentine belt (this belt is flat on one side and has 6 little "v's" on the other side about 1 1/4" wide) then there should be an "Idler" pulley that is internally spring loaded that puts the required tension on the belt, thus there is no "adjustment". But if this pulley is defective it must be replaced.

If yours has a single big "V" belt (about 1/2" wide) then the "Adjustment" usually consists of loosening the alternator and "biasing" it to tighten the belt then securing it again.
